8th November 2022 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 8th November 2022, telephone number +2348166126116 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Dr. Kingsley Obiora working as Deputy Governor for Central Bank of Nigeria using email address obikingss77@gmail.com as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam.

In Advance Fee Fraud Scams, the scammer will offer you something of high value (a large sum of money or gold for example) and all you have to do is pay a "small" fee. What the scammer is offering you does not actually exist and the scammer will come up with fee after fee that needs to be paid by the victims, until he either runs out of money or realises that he has been scammed. The scammer will often pretend to be real people or companies, use fake websites and introduce various characters, all with the aim of convincing the victim that what is being offered to him is real.

Here is the email that the scammer sent to his victims.
Sir,

My name is Dr.Kingsley Obiora Deputy Governor
(Central Bank of Nigeria). I believe you don’t know me before but
after a serious thought, I decided to reach you personally because I
do not have anything against you, but your so called partners, Sanusi
Lamido Sanusi and his partners. Again I strongly believe that basic of
my religion and the structure is telling truth.

Some Time ago, your partner Sanusi Lamido Sanusi approached me and
requested that I assist him to program your name on the Payment
Central Computer system as beneficiary for transfer deal of ($10.5M)
to use the strategy and transfer $10.5M by registering you as
beneficiary and Transfer the money to your account through United
Nations to enable them contact you and transfer the money to your
account. We agreed that i will do it but it must be on the condition
that i will get 20% of the total fund, 50% for YOU and 30% for them.
but can you believe that After i programmed your name on the payment
computer as the legal beneficiary, your so called partners started
playing pranks with me trying to push me out of the business
completely, But they don't know that as a professional Banker, they
can not outsmart me, that was why I changed the information without
his notice to make sure that whatever you do trying to receive the
money will not be possible.

Because of his evil attitude, I changed even the payment (CODE) from
the Central computer, which made it impossible for you to receive the
payment no-matter what both of you try. I am aware that you have been
bribing some officials to get approvals to enable you receive the
money but all efforts were to no success. Rather they keep demanding
fees ON and ON. Is it not funny that you are being asked to pay money
in other countries before you will receive your money while the fund
is here? Well, this is the cause of the problem. I am also aware that
they have made efforts to be paid via London payment center but the
arrangement did not work because of the wrong information I sent to
them. Bear in mind that your payment will NOT and you will NEVER
receive any payment from any OFFSHORE, CENTER IN GHANA, SOUTH AFRICA,
USA, LONDON, DUBAI ETC)

The only luck you have is that nobody can claim this money without
your consent even me, because it was registered on your name on the
Computer data system this is the more reason your so called partner
and other fraudsters ARE using the advantage to defraud you.

Have you asked yourself a question, How in this world can somebody
call himself a diplomat and carry millions of Dollars in Cash and pass
International Airports without inspection, It is only fools will fall
for that. because i know in my own Country, you must declare the
amount you have in you before you board airplane. Also be it know to
you that any international Transaction goes through Bank to Bank
Transfer, you can go and ask your banker. So stop Wasting your time
and funds because it is like building Castle in the Air.

NOW IF YOU WANT US TO WORK TOGETHER HERE ARE MY CONDITIONS.

(I) You MUST promise me NOT to allow any other person or party know
about this and I will have 30% of the money then 70% for you because
it is only two of us now. Again you must keep it highly confidential
and secret. I sworn with my life NOT to allow this transaction work
without my 100% involvement.

(ii) You MUST assure me that you will not betray me at last and my own
share will be wired into the account i will provide or keep safe until
we meet for sharing.

(iii) We can conclude the transaction with utmost SECRET and
CONFIDENTIAL if you agree to adhere to my directives based on these
conditions being acceptable by you, contact me immediately to enable
us finalize all the arrangement.

As soon as we agree, i will use my position to perfect the
arrangements on your behalf also update, authenticate and perfect all
your documents and Code including the documents your partners procured
through the back door while trying to double cross me. I will do all
this for us to have a smooth transfer both now and after the money
have got into your account.

If you agree with me, you must respond to me immediately through my
private email: (obikingss77@gmail.com) also make sure you call
me on confidential Phone No:+2348166126116 for full discussion.
But If you do not agreed with my condition, i will advise you to
forget about the funds because there is no way you can conclude the
transfer without my notice, as far as I still remain in Central Bank Nigeria.

Regards.
Dr.Kingsley Obiora
Deputy Governor
